From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
She was conducting an insurance inspection of a property. The a/c was positioned in close proximity to the house and a tree. A 10-12 mph wind overpowered the a/c and she was unable to maintain control. The a/c was blown into the house and fell approximately 7 feet to the ground.
